Abstract
A method and apparatus for improving the performance of a CMS system configured for bursting is disclosed. The CMS may be configured to automatically scan the CMS for unused document fragments and “clean up” the repository by reinserting the unused document fragments back into a corresponding source document. Thus, embodiments of the invention do not rely on beforehand knowledge and policy setting as current approaches. Rather, an autonomous method is used to manage document fragments by detecting and reinserting unused fragments back into their original documents.
Claims24
A computer-implemented method of fragment reconstitution in a content management system (CMS), comprising:
- scanning a plurality of document fragments stored by the CMS, wherein each of the plurality of document fragments was burst from a corresponding source document, and wherein each of the plurality of document fragments is associated with a reconstitution policy;
- reinserting at least one of the document fragments into the respective source document corresponding to the at least one document fragment, based on the respective reconstitution policy associated with the at least one document fragment, thereby producing an at least partially reconstituted source document;
- and
- storing the partially reconstituted source document on a computer readable medium.
A computer-readable storage medium containing a program which, when executed, performs an operation for fragment reconstitution in a content management system (CMS), the operation comprising:
- scanning a plurality of document fragments stored by the CMS, wherein each of the plurality of document fragments was burst from a corresponding source document, and wherein each of the plurality of document fragments is associated with a reconstitution policy;
- and
- reinserting at least one of the document fragments into the respective source document corresponding to the at least one document fragment, based on the respective reconstitution policy associated with the at least one document fragment, thereby producing an at least partially reconstituted source document;
- and
- storing the partially reconstituted source document on a computer readable medium.
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory containing a content management system (CMS) program which, when executed by the processor, for fragment reconstitution in the CMS, the operation comprising:
- scanning a plurality of document fragments stored by the CMS, wherein each of the plurality of document fragments was burst from a corresponding source document, and wherein each of the plurality of document fragments is associated with a reconstitution policy;
- and
- reinserting at least one of the document fragments into the respective source document corresponding to the at least one document fragment, based on the respective reconstitution policy associated with the at least one document fragment, thereby producing an at least partially reconstituted source document;
- and
- storing the partially reconstituted source document on a computer readable medium.
